Renault Signs Heikki for 2007
Sep 6th, 2006 by Haas
The Renault F1 team made an official announcement of their driver and test drivers lineup for 2007. Heikki Kovalainen will join Giancarlo Fisichella to represent Renault in the quest for the 2007 world championship. The Finn has been the test driver for the French team this year helping Alonso and Renault to hold onto the lead in the Championships.
This leaves Mc Laren and Ferrari to announce their driver lineup for 2007. Ferrari have promised an announcement after the Italian Grand Prix later this weekend. They are expected to announce the names of Michael Schumacher, Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen.
Great to see a new driver get a chance in a top car!
That is very impressive of the Renault team, as Flavio commented later “Everyone talks about new drivers not getting chances to drive in top cars but nobody does anythng about it.”
Renault does not look like it will hv a driver fighting for the world championship next year but knowing the team and its ability I hope it does
